Broke 80, AGAIN!!! 77 at San Jose Muni !!!

Three Birdies in the front to shoot just 1 over in the front.  Back nine was not as easy.  Almost double bogey free, until the last hole!!!  But managed to hold it together to shoot just 4 over in the back for a 77!  That's twice in one year!  

Love Me if You Dare...

I first saw this movie maybe about 3 or 4 years ago.  This is the first movie which I saw Marion Cottilard.  The movie is an off-the-wall crazy French movie with subtitles.  

I don't know what it is about her, but I found her very attractive.  More recently, she played in "A Good Year" with Russell Crowe.  Which was really a pointless movie, but none the less confirmed my first thought about how attractive she was.  

I don't know why I find her attractive?  Her pictures are not THAT hot but there is a cuteness about her...

My New Golf Hero! Ai Miyazato!

At 5'2" She is the smallest gal on the LPGA but she can hit the ball!!! I got her to sign my Pebble Beach Golf Cap too!!! Very nice...

Local Gal Julie Inkster signs autographs after the tounament!

Finally the other 2006 Rookie Morgan Pressel on the putting green...

P.S. Sad to see that Kim Welch didn't make the cut...I really wanted to see her! Oh well...

LPGA @ Half Moon Bay

Paula "Pink Panther" Creamer wins at Half Moon Bay!!! What an awesome day! She started the day with a lead and ended with 1 stroke victory.

We started the day at the first green, greeting all the players as they walked up to the tee. The first group included Angela Park, the Korean from Brazil, that now lives in Florida. Anyways, I say Good Morning to her in Portuguese and she looks over and smiles! Nice.

We also saw Anika, Lorena Ochoa (very cute) and all the other Korean players.

I look forward to next week at Blackhawk!

The Eagle has landed!

Spring Valley Golf Course - I still can't break 80, but on the 17 hole, par 5, I hit my drive to the junk on the left, then I hit my second shot with a 5 wood, hit a tree and ended up about 50 yards in front of the green...

...Then magic happened. I hit my chip shot with a sand wedge in front of the green and rolled up to the hole, and THEN...

...The ball disappeared...

Nice...

Finally broke 80, again! 77 at Palo Alto

What an unbelievable round. Par 72, Blue Tees, 6580 yards. Shot 4 over in the front and 1 over in the back. It was the best round of golf EVER! Here is what my scorecard looked like...

July 4th Golf Tournament

Spring Valley GC, just some friends coming together to have a good time.

Shot 6 over on the front, and 5 over in the back. Finished 81. So close to breaking 80, it was tough to take but still a good day.

Good time...

I have to break 80 on this course this summer!

Kim makes it to the Finals and WINS!!!

Yeah! Her and Sophia are the final two!

Go Kim! I think she can pull it off, and She does!

Can I have a ride in your new BMW???

What does Annkia Sorenstam & George have in common???

Not much, but Annika chips in her last shot at the Women's US Open, 18 hole par 5 to finish with a birdie. On the same day, George Chips in on the 11th hole at Spring Valley, after 11 holes, he's only 6 over par!!! Unfortunately, he pulled a Greg Norman, after 15 holes, George was 12 over! But don't worry, he finished strong. Finished with 13 over par, and finished with an 83! Not a bad round for an old fart.

Oh, BTW, my handicap went down to 13.9 as of July 2008!

Slowly getting to my goal to get below 10 Handicap!

Go KIM!!! She makes it to the Final 3! ! !

Kim earns immunity and makes to to the final 3!!! You go GIRL!

In the mean time, the grude match between Lori & Christina continues as they are matched up for the immunity challenge. Christina misses an opportunty to make a 3 foot put and leaves it on the lip of the cup to miss. Lori makes her 3 footer to tie.

At the next location, Christina chokes and chunks her hybrid out of the rough and takes 2 shots to reach the green but Lori is on the green in 1 and she is closer to the hole. Doesn't look good for Christina! Again she misses her put.

2 holes played 6 stokes to 8, Lori ahead of Christina. Next location, Lori hits and awful drive in the bunker but saves herself by making it on to the green.

But Christina misses her chip and Lori makes 2 putt and send Christina to the elimination match with Sophie!

Elimination match with Christina and Sophie, go Sophie!

BAKER'S VISIT BAY AREA!

So, This week was spent visiting with the Baker Clan in Monterey and SF. Of course we did the tourist tour of Monterey Aquarium, 17-mile Drive, and the rest of the Peninsula...

Best part for me was seeing all the golf courses along 17-mile drive, no wind 85-90 degrees, perfect conditions for golfing...

Also all the fish at the Aquarium made me think of Tuna fishing again...

Anyone up for fishing? What's the catch like in San Diego?

Looks like Lakers will be going to the Finals!

Oh I can't believe they won! 7 point lead with 59 seconds to play and the Spurs score 4 points in 49 seconds! The Lakers won but man did they have to make it so close.

And by the way, Even as a Laker fan, I have to admit, the last foul from Fisher on Barry as he was making the 3 point shot attempt. Oh well, the officials have been making bad calls all night and they probably wanted to get home and not go into OT. I'm sure they will be talking about this a lot in thes next couple days on ESPN, etc... So what, the games is done. Game 5 will be over on Thrusday...

I just hope the Celtics win the East so we can have another Lakers vs. Celtics series!

Ridgemark Golf

So I started today Bogey, par, par, par, par, par, par,

that's 1 over for 7 holes! then I blew up! triple, par.

Finished the front nine with 4 over. Some nice putts made today.

The back nine was not as good. The wind started to pick up.

The highlight was a Par 3, 210 yards, straight into the wind, and I nailed it with a 5 wood, and I hit the green and 2 putted for par.

Ended the day with 90!

Oh well, that's golf.

Simple JOY!

Eagle!!! Sharp Park GC, #9 Par 5

I cant remember the exact # of eagles I've made. More than 2 but less than 5.

I can remember the first one, I made one on a hole Par 4 (Riverside Golf Course) I didn't even see it go in.

Last Year, I made one on Spring Valley Golf Course, Milpitas, CA. Hole #6, Par 5. Reached in 2 and putted 1.

Finally, This year's eagle was completed today on hole #9 at Sharp Park in Pacifica, CA. Par 5, 463 yards. Reach in 2 with Driver and 5 wood (gotta love the Callaway Steelhead) 3 foot putt.

Day was rough, I was up and down all day. I finished with a 90 for the day. Oh well, not one of my better days but a birdie hole #1, and eagle on #9 made it a good day.

What's up with THE LAKERS???
